Instructions

Make the base:
Add oats and almonds to a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Add pitted dates and process until fully combined and mixture sticks together when pinched. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Divide mixture between each well and press down to form a base.

Make the white filling:
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy. Add chopped banana to the bottom of 4 wells of the muffin tin and pour 1/3 of white mixture on top.

Pour 1/3 of the mixture from the blender into a separate bowl, and leave 1/3 of the mixture in the blender.

Make the red filling:
Add the Organic Berry Power™ powder and freeze-dried strawberries to the blender and blend until creamy. Divide chopped strawberries between 4 muffin tin wells, then pour red filling on top.

Make the blue filling:
Transfer the reserved 1/3 of mixture back to the blender. Add the Blue-Green Algae powder and freeze-dried blueberries and blend until creamy. Divide fresh or frozen blueberries between 4 muffin tin wells, then pour blue filling on top.

Place full muffin tin in freezer overnight. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 12.
